		<title>A great example of a European Cottage.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently received this link from a client in Alabama who built our Armand plan (from our Cottages portfolio) and it really turned out wonderful.

		<title>Smaller houses that live big.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Homeowners everywhere are beginning to rethink McMansions and the &#8220;bigger is better&#8221; mindset.

		<title>Blending modern with European Country is all in the details.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Modern or contemporary furniture and home design is in vogue once again. The strong, simplified lines of this look have a lot to offer. I occasionally meet with clients who like a more modern feel, but they also love traditional European design and wonder how to marry the two looks. One couple I am working [...]]]></description>

		<title>Find design inspiration on the big screen.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you haven’t seen Nancy Meyers’ new movie It’s Complicated, you really need to. Even if you’re not a fan of Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin, you should see it just for the sets.

		<title>Great expectations: When a client’s dreams and budget don’t match.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We all have a dream home sketched out somewhere in our mind–or at least some key details and amenities are outlined on an imaginary list for that “someday” home.

		<description><![CDATA[Today more than ever, my clients want a home that is customized for their specific needs. Details both large and small make a home more personal and thus more of a comforting retreat for every member of the family.

		<title>Long-distance relationship with an architect? Here’s how it works.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just like any other type of long-distance relationship, working with an out-of-town architect depends on good communication. I work with clients all over the nation on a regular basis. Many of them I’ve never met nor did I visit their site. How is this possible? Technology and trust. Technological advances first gave us the fax [...]]]></description>

		<title>Florence home inspires design for client</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last fall my wife Susan and I traveled to Italy–Florence to be exact. While there, I took over 600 photos in just two weeks if that tells you anything about how much I love this area. One particular residence caught my eye during a day trip outside the city.
